Amaravati, January 09, 2026: Andhra Pradesh Minister for Education and IT Nara Lokesh emphasised that the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) is rooted in service, values, and accountability, not in intimidation, coercion, or high-handed tactics.
Speaking at a breakfast meeting with TDP ministers at the Chief Minister's camp office in Vijayawada, Lokesh distanced the party from the aggressive "Rappa Rappa" approach he linked to the previous YSR Congress regime. He stressed that threatening people or instilling fear has no place in TDP's political culture.
Lokesh called on party leaders to counter YSRCP propaganda actively while upholding a people-first ethos.
